Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Rose Willett's research focuses on the molecular and cellular alterations associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its more severe form, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). Her work investigates the impact of high-fat and high-sucrose diets on hepatic gene expression, lipid composition, and DNA methylation in genetically diverse mouse models, specifically the Collaborative Cross mice. Willett has also explored these changes in human hepatocellular cell models. Her recent publications examine the role of TMEM55B in cellular stress responses, linking autophagy flux and lysosomal repair to oxidative stress. She collaborates extensively with researchers at the National Center for Toxicological Research, including Volodymyr Tryndyak and Igor P. Pogribny, with whom she has co-authored multiple publications. Willett's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 12, 21 total publications, and 837 total citations.
